new band seeks advice on setup

146.186.181.112

Hi,

My wife and friends have formed a new bluegrass band and are looking to invest in some equipment for their gigs. They've been getting some conflicting information about whether to used power speakers, or unpowered speakers (with a head), and ditto for monitors. Sweetwater Sound recommends going the powered speaker route, the local music store is suggesting unpowered. The unpowered setup is cheaper...not sure of the sound quality differences though.

For now, they'll mostly be playing in bars and the like.

Any advice of how to proceed? Money is somewhat limited, but I think the band really wants to have good equipment that can do their sound justice...
